AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artist / Maker: Tachikichi (Kyoto Pottery)
Title of work: “Akane” Flower Vase (with Tomobako / Storage Box)


This is a refined flower vase by Tachikichi, a distinguished name in Kyoto ceramic tradition known for beautifully balanced forms and elegant glaze work. The piece is titled “Akane”, and it comes with its original wooden tomobako (storage box), enhancing its authenticity and appeal as a collectible.

The term “Akane” refers to a rich reddish hue inspired by the deep colors of the sky at dusk and traditional Japanese natural dyes — a color often associated with warmth, vibrancy, and subtle depth. In ceramic art, such tones are used to reflect both a sensory warmth and a poetic mood, complementing floral arrangements with an expressive yet refined backdrop.

Tachikichi’s craftsmanship is evident in the vase’s balanced silhouette, surface quality, and expressive glaze, which together create a harmonious object that feels both timeless and gently expressive. The red-inflected palette and tactile subtlety draw the eye, making it an engaging focal point in interior décor or an elegant support for ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement).

The inclusion of a wooden storage box not only preserves the piece but also signals careful stewardship and a traditional approach to Japanese ceramics, which is highly valued in both the art and antiques markets.

This vase’s combination of color, form, and provenance makes it suitable for use as a functional flower vessel or as a decorative art object that enriches any space with graceful Japanese aesthetic sensibility.
